Back into the 60's....

 6:01 am - Tuesday - May 19th - LPG&RVR - 34° F, humidity 30%, cloud cover 5%, wind 1 mph out of the northeast.....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 71° F.  On this date in 2020 TLE and I were driving the 'Million Dollar Highway' out of Durango, CO....

Descending into Silverton, CO

....the road is a narrow, windy, and twisty with 1,000 foot drop offs.  Our highest point was 11,200' elevation with two other summits just under 11,000'.  We were often in first gear climbing and descending.

Monday was significantly warmer than Sunday with a forecast high in the mid 60's, but it was still cold.  After staging our six new EZ-GO golf carts I headed out to make a round of the course.  On days I work, and Claude doesn't (he works Thursday through Saturday every week as course Marshall) I take care of the goose/duck leavings, and rake the four sand traps....

This is the sand trap at the 15th hole....Claude is doing

 a great job of keeping the weeds at bay

Still very cold at 9 am

.....by the time I returned to the Clubhouse it was time to clear the driving range of balls so it could be mowed later in the day.  It took me about 90 minutes to glean two 5 gallon buckets of balls as many of them were in the woods on either side of the range, and past the 250 yard marker on the other side of the dirt road which crosses the rear of the driving range.  I didn't return to the Clubhouse to give TLE her lunch break until 12:10 pm.

The restaurant is not open on Monday's so it was pretty quiet while TLE was at lunch.  After her return I headed out to do some weed eating around the Clubhouse area, then jumped on the 2 bag Husqvarna and headed down the hill to the 'Night Office' to mow the grass there.  By the time I returned it was after 3 pm, and there were 6 of the 9 carts we rented Monday awaiting their daily spa treatment.  By the time I finished washing and stowing them it was well after 3:30 pm, and time to head for home.  After a nap I headed back to the Clubhouse around 4:55 pm to pickup TLE, and head back home for the day to celebrate 'hump night' (the night in between day 2 and 3 of our four day work cycle).  Tuesday and Wednesday will much warmer with temps getting back into the 70's so there should be a lot more activity on the golf course.

Thanks for stopping by!
